Races set for spring election

Posted on Jan 16, 2014 at 10:15 a.m.

The filing period has passed for elections throughout the area, with many of the local races being contested heading toward Election Day on April 1. Primaries will take place on Feb. 18 for some races.

Area voters will get the chance to vote on a wide variety of races on the April 1 ballots, including school board candidates, county supervisors and many local municipality races.

Several races, including Village Trustee in the Village of Hammond and the Village of Roberts, will be contested with incumbents being challenged by multiple newcomers.

New Richmond Mayor Fred Horne, who also serves as the District 12 county supervisor, has decided not to run, and three newcomers will face off in a Feb. 18 primary ahead of the April 1 election.

Races for the area school boards will also be contested with multiple candidates running for a small number of seats.

The following is a guide of the candidates who will appear on the ballot for each local race, with the incumbents indicated with an “i” next to their name. Some municipalities have yet to hold their nominating caucuses, and others have no races scheduled in 2014.
